Communications
Marketing and Communications—or MaC—encompasses a full range of public relations and communications activities aimed at enhancing the reputation and awareness of the University of Alberta among diverse audiences, and assisting the university’s units in their own marketing and communications efforts.
MaC’s core mandate is to provide external media relations and internal news coverage in order to promote university people, programs and impacts. MaC staff produce Folio, the staff/faculty newspaper, and ExpressNews, the university’s online news outlet. Copywriting, editing, media training, issues management and communications planning are all additional areas of expertise.
In addition, staff from across MaC work together to produce multimedia stories for the award-winning promise site, stories of University of Alberta staff, faculty, students, alumni and researchers who are living the university’s promise of “uplifting the whole people” every day.
